HOW TO HELP YOUR CHILD BUILD CREDIT

YOUNG ADULTS ARE often “credit invisible”—meaning unknown to credit bureaus such as Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. That could keep them from getting a loan or leasing an apartment, says Rod Griffin, senior director of public education and advocacy for Experian. To help your child build a history, here’s what credit experts recommend.

• Lend them a line of credit. Secured credit cards offer a line of credit that’s funded by a savings account. You can provide the cash for the account now, and your child can repay you later.

• Link them to your account. Making your child an authorized user on your credit card account gives credit bureaus information to evaluate their borrowing habits.

• Explore student credit cards. If your child is in college and has some income of their own, they might qualify for a student credit card.

• Consider alternative credit reporting services. For example, some credit bureaus have special programs that track rent payments to establish credit.

• Have them take out a credit-builder loan. Instead of giving them money up front, the bank holds it while payments are made. Once the balance is paid, the money is theirs. Tamara E. Holmes

TOE YOGA

5 MOVES FOR FITTER FEET

STRONG AND FLEXIBLE feet are key to staying active in your 50s—and avoiding falls later on. These simple exercises can help.

1. Ankle circles: Rotate each ankle in a slow, controlled movement.
2. Toe pulls: Raise and lower each of your toes individually.
3. Calf raises: Lift both heels off the ground, then lower them.
4. Straight leg calf stretch: Place both hands on a wall and step one foot back. Straighten your back knee and hold.
5. Single leg balance: From a standing position, raise one knee to hip height and hold. (Use a wall or chair for balance.)
